Research positions available*
Center for Prototype Climate Modeling*/*NYU Abu Dhabi Institute*
Andrew Majda (PI), Olivier Pauluis (co-PI), Shafer Smith (co-PI)
NYU Abu Dhabi, through its NYU Abu Dhabi Institute, seeks to be a
world-class center of cutting-edge research, scholarship, and cultural
activity. The Institute offers outstanding facilities; research funding
at a significant level and with exceptional continuity of support; and a
vigorous, cohesive, and interactive intellectual environment. The NYUAD
Institute has recently awarded a research grant to the PI and co-PIs to
create the Center for Prototype Climate Modeling, investing a total of
$12 million in the project over a five-year period, renewable for a
second five-year period. The Center will develop new, innovative
approaches in climate forecasting, especially as they relate to the
tropics and subtropics, to improve the accuracy of algorithms used for
climate change predictions. The core activities of the center will focus
on two related themes: (I) The development of new methods, including
diagnostics, data assimilation, parametrization, and prediction; and
(II) the application of these methods to critical problems in the
dynamics of the tropical and subtropical atmosphere and ocean.
*Positions are available *for up to *2 senior research scientists *and
*3 postdoctoral researchers*. While talent and an exceptional research
record in all related fields are paramount, we especially encourage
applications from researchers with expertise in air-sea interaction,
large-scale climate modeling and diagnosis, especially as it applies to
the tropics and subtropics, and development of new approaches to
parametrization in both atmospheric and oceanic circulation models. All
positions will be based in Abu Dhabi, but researchers may spend up to 2
months per year at the Courant Institute in New York City.NYU Abu Dhabi
offers very substantial benefits, including allowances for housing,
transportation, and home visits, in addition to health insurance and an
attractive retirement plan.*
*
*Senior scientists *will collaborate directly with the PI and co-PIs,
develop their own research agenda in accordance with the overall goals
of the center, help supervise the postdoctoral associates, and develop a
long-term relationship with climate research centers worldwide.
Appointments will be made for a five-year term, contingent upon positive
annual reviews. The annual salary is in the range $110K-$140K, depending
on qualifications.
*Postdoctoral research fellows *will work closely with the PI, co-PIs
and senior scientists.Appointments are offered for two-year periods,
contingent upon positive annual reviews; extensions up to five years may
be possible in exceptional cases. The annual salary is in the range
$65K-$80K, depending on qualifications.
Applicants should send a CV and the names of three professional
references via email or regular mail to Kristina Eugene
(kristina@cims.nyu.edu), Courant Institute, New York University, New
York, NY 10012, USA. Applicants for the senior scientist positions
should also include a one-page research statement, describing the
applicant's scientific goals, and how they relate to the goals of the
Center. Review of applications will begin *November 15, 2012 *and will
continue until suitable candidates are hired.

*2 years EMBRACE post doctoral position: Implementation/evaluation of a
physically based soil water flow representation for modelling large
scale land surface hydrological processes in the IPSL climate model,
LMDZOR.*
The interest of the climate projections depends highly on the quality of
the modeling tools used. This is the reason why modeling groups devote
long term efforts for their improvement in an iterative approach
coupling implementation/evaluation and development. Based on a decade of
research on cloud processes, a new version of the LMDZ atmospheric
general circulation model has been developed that corresponds to a
complete recasting of the parametrization of turbulence, convection and
clouds. With the more tested LMDZ5A, atmospheric physical package, this
new version, named LMDZ5B, has been used for the realization of climate
change projections with the IPSL climate model (IPSL-CM) for the CMIP5
exercise
A new hydrological scheme referring to a physically based soil water
flow representation following the Richard diffusion equation is being
implemented in the IPSL-CM in order to substitute the 2 layers Choisnel
scheme in the ORCHIDEE land surface model, coupled to LMDZ. The scope is
to improve the representation of the interactions with the continental
surface, whose impact on the regional and global climate is clearly
demonstrated (Koster et al. 2004) and. eventually improve on the
reliability of the detection/attribution of extreme events such as
summer droughts or heat waves. The preliminary tests done with
simplified configurations show a clear impact on bias common to numerous
climate models (e.g. warm biais at mid-latitude in summer) as well as on
the realism of the near surface meteorology. (cheruy et al. 2012)
The purposes of this EMBRACE (_http://www.smhi.se/embrace_) FP-7 funded
contract are threefold:
*
in depth evaluation of the hydrological module coupled with the
STOMATE dynamical vegetation module and the LMDZ GCM, at various
spatial scales from local to continental,
*
improve on the defects shown by the preliminary evaluation,
particularly working on spacialization of key parameters such as
hydrodynamical properties of soils, soil depths, root profiles,
links between ground water and routing. The coupling with a.
description of the root growth will be eventually addressed in
collaboration with the experts of carbon cycle in the ORCHIDEE model.
*
contribute to the analysis of the soil moisture/climate feedbacks in
the framework of the GLACE-CMIP5 experiment (e.g. Seneviratne et al.
2012) and to the characterization of summer droughts in the present
and the future climates (e.g. Bertrand et al. 2012)
The successful applicant will hold a PhD or equivalent qualification in
a relevant field, a research track record in one or more of the
following areas: atmospheric modeling, coupled climate modeling, land
surface modeling. Applicants should also be able to demonstrate
programming skills in a Unix/Linux environment (e.g. Fortran 9X, shell
scripts, R) as well as possessing excellent written and oral
communication skills.
Help in the writing of reports for the EMBRACE is part of the job.
